  • I actually know several female nerds. Including one who is also a saxophonist.

    What episode is that from?

    You know...we never had a TON of sax players in our band, but we seemed to have a fairly even ration of guys to galls there. We'll, we would have, but the two best players where female and one (the younger) was pretty damn good, and therefore, first chair. 

    Our second chair quit eventually. She couldn't stand being anything but first...though I wouldn't put it past her to think that gender had anything to do with it.

    I gave exactly zero fucks as I was content to play whatever chair I was deemed worthy of by showing up to class every day and attending all our myriad of events.

    Well from my perspective it's not so much the nerd factor of that thing but how absolutely tacky it is; and for women when they see you have something like that it sets off klaxons about how you're likely going to decorate the den

    It's from the 10th Anniversary special, "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!"

    It was animated in Flash...the difference is definitely noticeable, which is a bit off-putting, but this art style certainly works well with Flash.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I wonder if having an Indiana Jones poster is a bad sign

    But whether or not that happens is entirely dependent on whether or not they think it's tacky, they might well not. Not every woman has impeccable fashion and decoration sense, trust me.

    It's dorky alright, but some people like that in a guy.

    probably not

    having a poster of a movie based on tabletop roleplaying games starring richard moll that went direct to video in the 80's and was panned harder than that sword we were just talking about, that would pobably qualify

    This.

    Why would it be a bad sign? Indy's a bonafide cultural icon.

    I for one thought Cher looked awesome in the 80's
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, I thought that being an Indy fan was kinda nerdy...

    Also, my sister's taste in decor is MUCH nerdier than mine. Looks like you've just stepped into a Nintendo catalog.

    DO YOU BAH-LEEEV IN LIFE AFTER LOVE

  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Oh yeah and I don't care how much drama this causes or how much anger it creates by saying this

    but Gaga will never, ever come close to being as awesome as Cher
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well whatever about that. But what's this about Richard Moll? Bull was cool
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    step 2, make a new webcomic "So You're A Stupid Asshole" where I strawman my very controversial opinions on Cher
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.

    Well whatever about that. But what's this about Richard Moll? Bull was cool

    I could be wrong here but there was some "gamemaster" or something movie that was released in the 80's that was craptacular unless you were of the DnD set at that time
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, he seems to have been in this and this.
  • Gaga will never, ever come close to being awesome

  • There have been several D&D or D&D-like movies over the years, no one really cares for them as far as I know.

    Given a big enough budget and a good director, you could probably make one of the D&D settings--say, Eberron--pretty interesting on the big screen. But yeah, that'll never happen.

  • Eberron is like the best tabletop RPG setting ever.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Well there's lord of the rings which DnD and everything else fantasy ripped off wholesale, especially that Dragolance stuff

    I'm pretty familiar with general DnD but growing up I never read LotR or saw Bakshi's adaptation and I didn't even see the movies until years after their release, and i was all damn, LotR ripping off 1st Edition like CRAZY

    Would you like to see that avatar with purple crotch hair as well?

    +5 against ever having a meaningful relationship



    Actually know several people who would totally use this.

    Mostly the kind of girls that are more into D&D than cooking, but are still sort of into cooking.

    Dude, that would be useful in some sort of LARP. You could run around as some sort of Highland Raider or something and just bash people in the head with it.

    My sister always yells at me when I sing along with that, because I insist on singing the echo too.

    DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE, AFTER LOVE, AFTER LOVE, AFTER LOVE

    Transformers RPG. But only if you get to make your own 'bot.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    You should make one that transforms into a HANDHELD GAME SYSTEM.

    I mean, we have a giant toaster already, so why not?
  • Actually, aside from the obvious PC reasons, I always thought it was weird that no transformer turns into an artillery cannon or a missile battery or something. 
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Now those chairs will definitely get you a ladyfriend.

    The only woman I know of who would buy these eyesores was Roy Orbison's wife

    god, she went out and found the tackiest shit imaginable

    You mean there are people who don't want that?

    It's possible.

    Anyway, night folks

  • We never had Justin Bieber pegged as a big heavy metal lover, but maybe we misjudged the little twerp — while he doesn’t seem to have any Slayer or Mercyful Fate tattoos, it turns out he is in fact a big fan of Metallica.

    However, please note, he will take his order of metal pre-’Enter
    Sandman.’ That’s right, the teen pop sensation apparently digs his
    Metallica vintage style: “‘One,’ ‘Fade to Black.’ Those are my jams,”
    the kid tells GQ magazine
    It’s hard to argue with his choices — most fans would gladly take ‘Ride
    The Lightning’ and ‘Kill ‘Em All’ over ‘Load’ or ‘St. Anger’ any day.

    In the profile, the “Beeb” professed not only his love for those
    early Metallica tracks, but also to hitting the sauce, although not in
    anything close to the legendary quantities his newly revealed metal
    heroes were known for consuming. “For me, it’s just like, I like to be
    in control of myself. I mean, I’ve had a beer, like, before…. But I
    never get out of control.”

    Ahhh, give him time, with that Metallica blasting and the suds
    flowing, the newly turned 18-year-old is ready to hop on that Lohan
    derailment train, right? Well, maybe not: “I keep my guard up a lot,
    because you know, you can’t trust anyone in this business,” Bieber said.
    OK, can’t argue with that.

    One last note – despite being Canadian, every young girl’s favorite haircut on two legs speaks nothing of Rush! Zero! What’s the deal with that, JB?

    Wikipedia said:

    CSS's weakness is primarily due to the regulations placed on the export of cryptographic systems from the United States.[3] At the time that CSS was introduced, it was forbidden in the United States for manufacturers to export cryptographic systems employing keys in excess of 40 bits, a key length that had already been shown to be wholly inadequate in the face of increasing computer processing power (see Data Encryption Standard). In addition, structural flaws in CSS reduce the effective key length to only around 16 bits, allowing for CSS to be compromised in less than a minute by brute-force with a 450 MHz processor.[4] A 450 MHz processor is the official minimum computational requirement[citation needed] for playing an unencrypted DVD-compliant MPEG-2 videostream, so this effectively means that any computer that can decode a DVD entirely in software can also crack a CSS-encrypted DVD.

    I find this hilarious, somehow.

    DVD copy protection? Totally worthless!

    I was watching this:


    and I noticed something: Schwarzenegger was a pretty advanced basass back in the 1980s, but in the 1990s he ended up derping it up in crap like Jingle All The Way and Batman & Robin. I have to wonder if Total Recall was kind of a stepping stone to that; it was trying to be at least partially serious, but it also had moments like the "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR" scenes.
